Chapter 246 Inside crisis, Oden was ordered in danger!
"Okay, let's get ready for training."
The person who spoke was Mark Jackson. He didn't know when he had already walked to the sidelines.
"Coach, did you see Greg's performance just now? He is fully recovered!"
Lori said excitedly.
Seeing how happy he looked, I didn't know it, but thought he was back from injury.
"Hahaha, I saw it, I saw it. I saw you were so absorbed in it just now, so I didn't bother you." Mark Jackson answered Lowry with a smile, and then looked at Oden: "Greg."
"Coach I'm here!"
Auden responded quickly.
"Can you participate in the training for a while?"
Mark Jackson asked.
"Of course! I'm ready to coach!"
Auden quickly agreed.
He has long wanted to participate in Rockets training!
"well..."
"Everyone, get ready, training will start soon."
Mark Jackson said with a smile.
Soon, Rocket's daily training began.
Shen Fei also walked to the sidelines and watched the game with Mark Jackson.
During training, Oden was very active and devoted himself to every training session.
However, maybe due to the long truce, he was a little jerky in completing some technical moves, and some tactics were not very clear.
"If you rest for too long, your body will not get rusty, but your brain will get rusty."
Mark Jackson shook his head and said to Shen Fei beside him.
"Greg's body has completely recovered and is fully up to competition standards."
"Next, we can let him start from the end of the bench to find a feeling for the game, and then gradually increase his playing time."
Shen Fei said lightly.
"What is your positioning for him, or...what are your expectations for him?"
Mark Jackson asked curiously.
"Substitute center. Yao Ming's first substitute."
Shen Fei said directly without hesitation.
"Also...it shouldn't take long for Greg to adapt. Once he performs well, be bold and give him a chance."
The Asian young man added.
"I see."
Mark Jackson nodded.
............
In the evening, Shen Fei finished his day's work and drove back to his mansion.
After a brief wash, he lay on the bed to relax and play with his mobile phone.
When you unlock the screen, the first thing you see is Ajiali's text message.
"Okay, but you have to treat me, big boss."
Ajiali also added a string of cute emojis at the end of the text.
The two had sent voice messages and chatted many times before.
So when Shen Fei saw this text, he could imagine the other person's playful tone across the screen.
"Lolita heart, royal sister body."
This is Shen Fei’s evaluation of Ajiali after in-depth contact with her.
In the eyes of others, this king's daughter may be unattainable, cool and unapproachable.
But in fact, there is a "little girl" living in Ajiali's heart.
However, only a very few people can "see" this little girl, and Shen Fei is one of them.
"good."
Shen Fei simply responded.
Then, he checked Twitter again.
Soon, a tweet caught Shen Fei's attention.
This afternoon, the Rockets officially announced: "Greg Oden has gotten over his knee injury and will be on the team roster for the next game!"
As soon as this news came out, it immediately triggered extensive discussion.
"I had forgotten about Oden until I saw this tweet... He is a beast that beat Durant to become the No. 1 pick!"
"Tear City (Trail Blazers) is a cursed place. Roy and Oden both encountered career-destroying injuries there. In Houston, Roy recovered and now Oden is back. I don't Do you know how Blazers fans feel when they see this news?"
"Takumi. I can't complain about the injury curse. I can only wish Brandon and Greg good health in the Rockets and realize their talents!"
"Roy has been in such good shape since his return, I hope Oden can perform well too!"
"Upstairs, don't have high expectations. Roy has already proven himself. He was only briefly hampered by injuries. But Oden...he still needs to prove that he can finish the season healthy. Bar!"
...
Fans have different opinions and have various views on Oden's future.
When Shen Fei saw these comments, he smiled lightly.
He himself is also looking forward to Oden's future development.
If we look at those operations in the past, Shen Fei made decisions from a God's perspective, 99.99% of which would be successful.
So this time, Oden's development is 100% unknown!
[Holy Light Treatment] has indeed cleared up all the hidden diseases in his body over the past twenty years.
But this does not mean that Oden can always stay healthy in the future.
Therefore, whether he soars into the sky and successfully fulfills his talent, or he repeats the same mistakes and gets injured again...
Shen Fei has no way of knowing!
"I just hope that this time, God can favor this talented player..."
The Asian young man murmured to himself.
............
The next day, the Rockets players came to Minnesota to challenge the Timberwolves away from home.
The Timberwolves are a very strange team.
The players in their starting lineup include three extremely talented players:
Center - Milicic, the role model of the 2003 golden generation. Behind him in the same class are Hall of Fame players such as Anthony, Wade and Bosh.
Small forward—Michael Beasley, the second overall pick in 2008, competed with Rose for the top pick that year!
Shooting Guard—Wesley Johnson, this year’s No. 4 pick!
George of the Rockets and Cousins of the Kings were all selected after him.
But without exception, the performance of these three people seriously did not meet expectations, and can even be described as imported goods!
Fortunately, the Timberwolves selected Kevin Love with the fifth pick the year before last.
This young power forward has completed a magnificent transformation this year.
This season, Love, nicknamed "The God of Love," is averaging 20.2 points, 15.2 rebounds (currently first in the league) and 2.5 assists per game.
At present, many media and professional football commentators believe that Love has reached All-Star level and may compete for the honor of the league's No. 1 forward in the future!
"He is only 2.08 meters tall, but he can pocket every rebound."
"Love's positioning skills and fighting spirit...let me see Rodman's style! He is the rebounding king of the new era!"
Well-known ESPN commentator A-Smith said this about Love.
It is worth mentioning that Griffin performed very well after returning from injury this season.
Therefore, many people put these two young high-quality power forwards together and compare them.
The duel between the two is also a highlight of this game!
............
After the game started, the Rockets quickly showed their strength advantage.
The first one to bear the brunt was Tracy McGrady, who started "attack mode" as soon as he came up.
Facing Wesley Johnson's defense, t-mac showed off various skills in his arsenal one by one
The quick first step, the ecstatic pull-up jump shot, and the freehand dribbling like a butterfly flying through flowers...
McGrady scored 15 points in the first quarter and completely beat up his opponent Wesley Johnson.
In addition to t-mac, Curry's performance is also remarkable.
Through his agile movement, he got many open shooting opportunities.
In the first quarter, he made 3 of 5 shots from beyond the three-point line and scored 11 points.
With the outstanding performance of the two, the Rockets quickly established their lead.
However, the Timberwolves did not surrender.
At the critical moment, the star player, Kevin Love, stood up and used his low post attack to chase the score tenaciously.
Facing Griffin's defense, Love perfectly demonstrated his strength advantage.
Every time he attacks, he will actively create physical confrontation.
Love will take action only after ensuring that the opponent cannot fully take off.
Poor Griffin has so much bounce, but because of his lack of experience, he often suffers on the defensive end.
Just like that, after the first quarter, the Rockets led the Timberwolves by 35:30, temporarily leading by 5 points.
At the beginning of the second quarter, the game entered the transition period.
Perhaps in order to bite the score, Kevin Love still stayed on the court.
So far in the game, he has only rested for three minutes in the middle of the first quarter.
The Rockets, as always, played a small lineup.
Tucker has become the person who defends Love in this lineup.
............
Shen Fei, who was far away in Houston, was also watching the game in front of the TV.
When he saw this matchup, he had great confidence in Tucker.
After all, in the original time and space, Tucker had defended superstars like Durant and Antetokounmpo in the playoffs!
And Love has never entered the ranks of super giants throughout his career.
However, this time, Shen Fei's judgment was wrong.
Facing Tucker's defense, Love is still unstoppable!
The reason is very simple. The God of Love at this time is not the weight-reduced version of the knight period.
Facing Tucker's defense, Love directly transformed into a bulldozer and crushed him in the low post!
After a few rounds, Tucker already committed two fouls.
Moreover, every time Love succeeds in a low post, it means...the Rockets are unable to launch their best counterattack!
It’s not like the Rockets generals haven’t thought of ways to deal with it.
Based on their previous experience in defending Randolph, they tried to use a double-team tactic against Love.
However, the passing ability of Cupid is far beyond what the big black bear can match!
Whenever Rockets players are about to form a double-team attack on him, Love can always pass the ball to the right teammate, turning the double-team invisible!
It was precisely because of the outstanding performance of Eros that the Rockets' "Five Deaths" not only failed to expand their lead, but were overtaken by the Timberwolves.
Mark Jackson saw that the situation was not good and immediately began to think about countermeasures.
[If the inside line is lost, the advantage of the small lineup will not be used...]
[Someone must stand up and hold down Love!]
At this thought, Mark Jackson turned around and cast his gaze deep into the bench.
There, a seven-foot tall man with a mature face looked eager to try!
Of course this man is Greg Oden who has just returned from injury!
"Greg, do you have the confidence to let you guard Love?"
Mark Jackson asked.
"Leave it to me, coach!"
Auden did not make promises easily, but his sincere tone and sworn expression all showed his confidence.
"Okay! Come on."
Mark Jackson patted Oden on the shoulder and motioned for him to wait at the technical table.
Soon, on a dead ball opportunity, Oden had his first chance to play after returning from injury!
